The "alarm" message is not the point of that output.
The real problem is what gets printed before, namely
that Ghostscript has produced unexpected output.
Some old PostScript files have stuff in them to print
things like %%[Printing page 1]%% to standard output
(presumably goes to the LCD on the printer).  I haven't
seen that in recent Windows drivers though.

I usually install a driver for an Apple Laserwriter II NTX
(either numeric version, I think v47.0 or 52.3, but it's
been a while) and then print to file.
